This is the one of the best presentations of the sixties that you will see online. It is very well done. Just click on the link and sit back and enjoy the memories. Great photos and facts. This is a part of how the 60’s changed history. The music is good and you don’t need acid to take this trip.

In keeping with the ‘humor theme‘ I have going on this week, I would love to share THIS VIDEO ABOUT HOLIDAYS with you, by one of my favorite clean-cut comedians. Jim Gaffigan. You will not be disappointed.

Warning: After watching that video you might end up spending a lot of time on the internet looking for more of his material. But since I am always looking out for my readers, here are a few other links:

Ah yes. The Glory Days of ‘Groovy’ Television. Don’t you remember way back when the world seemed so much simpler? How much did you (or still do) love all that the 70’s had to offer as far as TV programming? As much as this guy?

If you did, then I would like to take a moment and direct your attention to This Ultra-Super-Fly-Far-Out Post. I couldn’t have written this any better if I tried.

Excerpt:

Being yanked from the warmth of my mother’s womb and placed into the cold harshness that was the last week of 1973 (I’m thinking of starting a novel using that last sentence, but wanted to try it out here first), I don’t remember a lot about 70s TV as it was happening. I did however grow up on 70s reruns. Lots of them. In fact, by the time this post is over, you may well think I grew up on too many 70s reruns…

Wow. Its been a LONG TIME since we’ve done a Trivia Game! In the spirit of 4 hours of American Idol over the last 2 days, I am thrilled to bring to you this weeks installment!

Okay. You all know the drill, but, if you are new here, the rules are simple. Please put your answers in the comments section of the post and we will reveal the answers tomorrow.NOW POSTED!!

God-King, while I remain one of the faithful, I have a bone to pick with you and your “#1 and #2” fan site, Colbert Nation. While you are basking away on some Bermuda beach, your nation’s website is quickly spiraling out of control. Since the writers strike began, there have been no new postings here, perhaps to show solidarity with you, which is fine.

However, even with the void that has been created with no new news on the website, there are still many who comment on the last post. I first noticed them when I found a link from the Colbert Nation’s comments to my little blog, which I greatly appreciated, however my appreciation soured when I began to read through the other comments and find quite a few anti-Semitic and racist posts spread throughout the comments.

From my very first post for this blog, “The Sweet Midwest Girl” I made it clear where I stand on racism, be it actively hostile or passively permissive.

Now Stephen, I know you aren’t responsible for every annoying poster that feels the need to spread nonsense and hate, but I absolutely hold you and you due-designates responsible for not policing your public posting site. If you promote it, and it sells your products, you need to take a moment from in absentia and make someone deal with it. This is for the betterment of all, but especially the children. What is more American than that?

Take this happy young lad, for example:

This is JCH, the son of my blogging pal Meleah from Momma Mia, Mea Culpa. You are a hero of his. While he is enjoying your new book, what if he decides to head over to Colbert Nation to see what else you might have that is interesting? What is he going to think if he reads some of the hateful bile some posters have left?

I promise it won’t take more than a few minutes for you to sort this out, and you can climb back up on your golden throne to pass judgement on all you survey. Otherwise, I will be forced to declare my blog the #1 and #2 fan site, as I am serving up fresh and racist-free content on all things Stephen Colbert.
